Because of my own age & stage in this journey called life, I have gone through several transitions in the last few years, especially since moving to Norway & particularly while experiencing later motherhood & the consequential blurry lines between postpartum & early peri-menopause. Finding my footing as a professional in Oslo, in a time of so much focus on social media, has meant many moments of doubt, professional challenges & a lot of reinventing moments. 

​

​

This has only opened up space for more growth & expansion.

By going within myself to find balance, I found wisdom I didn't think I could ever apply to myself. The wisdom I have experienced in the last few years has given me the tools needed to move my practice forward

​

​

Early in 2023 I made the decision to leave the work as a "doula" & "babywearing consultant" behind to focus my energy & attention into bodywork, & the work of guidance & awareness of female wellness who, like me, have experienced the challenges of convoluted transitions, stress, expat life & the woman/mother experience after forty with little support & even less self accountability. 

​

​

The vision I share, the work I do, the words I write reflect my experience into & through the journey of life; how I have dealt (or not) with life's surprises; what has failed me; what wisdom has lifted me up. I invite those who feel equally inspired to explore with me, & those who aren't truly called by what I have to offer, to take with the that which works & leave behind that which doesn't.

I'm the only certified massage therapist/teacher in Oslo holding two international massage certifications; a specialization in Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage & Bodywork with Eastern & Western techniques; professional education in pregnancy, postpartum physiological care, babywearing, breastfeeding & birth story processing; certifications in the traditional  arts of Ayurveda, Rebozo and Asian bodywork.

​

​

I thrive on helping women fulfill their self nourishment needs through warming & restorative bodywork & therapeutic massage specifically designed for the stage or transition they are in; as well as in supporting women in finding their way through intuitive awareness; and holding space for those who, like me, are exploring wellness & the world within themselves in times of transition & the times in between.
